Hexagonal Sticker as a Service
summary
A live hexagonal-sticker service called Hexi lets users upload from mobile, crop and style a 5.08×4.39 cm hex then publish for worldwide print; uploads trigger AWS S3 and AWS Lambda workers that run ImageMagick to resize and an okra OCR library to extract text for search. Switching to HTTP/2 cuts total page load from about 14.486s to 13.1593s, and using io.js yields ~5.5% throughput gain over Node 0.12; users report positive feedback and many stickers made.
